Musnad Ahmad — Hadith #44929

Abdullah told us, Yahya bin Mu’in told us, Hisham bin Yusuf told us, Abdullah bin Buhair Al-Qasas told me, on the authority of Hani, Mawla Othman, may God be pleased with him, said: Whenever Othman, may God be pleased with him, stood on a grave, he would cry until his beard was wet, and he was told, “Remember Paradise.” And the Fire, so do not cry and cry because of this. He said that the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: The grave is the first stage of the Hereafter, so if he is saved from it, then what After it is easier than it, and if he does not escape from it, then what comes after it is more severe than it. He said, and the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said. By God, I have never seen a sight except that the grave was more horrific than it.
